Establishing manners and training for behaviors you want...and don't want in your Bernese.

[@lourobin2728]

😂 I got my boy at 10 months and he was a jumper and mouther! Took me about 2 months to correct the behaviour. Do it young when it’s easier. My guy learned quickly and is now a certified service dog and is amazing in public. Berners are the best! ❤

We are very interested in your skills as a trainer.

I just want to say all your videos have been super helpful. I just got a male Berner puppy, and he is 10 weeks old. I had a female Berner before but she passed 10 years ago. I really miss my girl, but excited to start making new memories with my new boy! Thanks again for these helpful videos! It’s been awhile since I had a puppy.

You are welcome!! They are super fun to make, especially with the puppy! Have fun with your puppy!

[@gretelkerstupp3505]

Thanks Stacy

I'm in the process of getting a Berner, just want to let you know how much I'm learning from your videos and confidence I get about raising my future berner, thanks alot and keep it up!

[@SitStaywithStacySlade]

Great to hear!

[@dariela23101]

Hi Stacy great video and also great advice...

[@rouxchat6033]

Great advice! Lovely pup. ☺

We have a 11-week old Bernese that I was trying to ignore/turn my back to the demand barking and its not really working. I will try your solution. Thank you!

[@SitStaywithStacySlade]

I have found ignoring it doesn't work either. Make it known it's not okay, interrupt it/startle it and redirect, consistently. Let me know how it goes!

[@derrickhorn1726]

@@SitStaywithStacySlade Thanks again Stacy! I only had to do it twice and redirected to a sit. Now he just sits instead of demand barking :)

[@SitStaywithStacySlade]

@@derrickhorn1726 That is fantastic!!

[@fredlane7767]

not sure you can still help us, but we have a 7 month old Bern. There are 8 people living in the house, and everyone is trying to train him. It's a little too much. When he's outside in the back yard, he always gets into the garden and lays down. I tell him "come", and he just looks at me. I've watched your videos on how to help puppies learn to stay by you, but he's 7 months old. What can we do to get him to come when we call?

[@SitStaywithStacySlade]

I would quickly get him enrolled in puppy obedience (positive methods only) class so you can develop a training relationship with your dog. Always have treats on your and offer a reward for anything you ask. I would also fence off your gardens. For reference, I don't have any gardens in my back yard, only pots. :)

[@janetnimietz4733]

What treats do you use for training besides string cheese?

[@SitStaywithStacySlade]

Jerky Treats, hot dogs, Fresh Pet Pure Vital nuggets :)

How long before its safe for them to jump off chairs and other furniture?

[@SitStaywithStacySlade]

I always wait until I have their OFA hip and elbow clearances so I know their joints can handle it. Happy to help you learn how to get those health clearances.

[@alexandraparillo9460]

SitStay with Stacy Slade That would be great, thank you. I don’t have a puppy yet, but I’ve been in contact with a few breeders. Hoping to have one by the end of the year or early next year.

[@PrinceHaz93]

@@SitStaywithStacySlade Hey Stacey! I had the same question as well actually. How do you get those clearances and at what age? Thanks for the informative videos!

[@SitStaywithStacySlade]

@@PrinceHaz93 Hi Hari, here is a video on all the health clearances, I am happy to answer any questions! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZaucmaspqqSkKs
